UK TrainTimes App.

Thanks Darren, saw your post, downloaded the beast, up she comes running & shows local station departures just-like-that! Neat, nice work, keep it up.

One minor query - you talk above about version 2.8 etc etc but Android reports mine as "Version 14".. are these numbers related at all??

Cheers!

not really/ but yes.

When I'm developing I have to set 2 values for Android Market to allow me to upload

android:versionCode="14"
android:versionName="2.8"

Which I think is totally stupid, but hay, that's the way it is.

I guess i could have them both at 14, but I like subversions, and then main version when there are big changes,

So a bug fix would goto V2.9,
whereas a new feature would go to V3
But, android:versionCode has to be a single numer, 1,2,3,4 no decimals....
maybe in the next version I will bring these In line.

Thanks
Darren.

Thanks Darren...

btw I saw this ....

so depending on how you get the data there could be a problem winging it's way (which would be a real shame...). Hope it keeps going with no interference....

Good luck & good work!!

Cheers!

I don't directly use their server resources. So should be fine.

New version available with new option menu:
-Startup Screen Option (Journey Planner or TrainTimes)

Hi Rodhill,

Thanks for your feedback,

I will be working on a full options menu in the next week, released by Monday, where you can set:
-Font Colours
-Background Colours
-Font Size
-Startup Screen (Journey Planner or TrainTimes)
-Delete All Favourites

I am trying to do less releases from now on, because the more changes I make, the more times people have to download updates, and the more bugs I could introduce. So Now most the basic features are there, I will be running a slower release program, to get changes/fixes out more fully.


Thanks
Darren.

 

[dgoulston]

There is now a Paid Ad Free Version....

So if you got a spare few coppers, please support my development by buying it, and help me get the misses off my back hehe, This app is taking up a lot of my time!

Thanks in Advance!
Darren.

 

[dgoulston]

Ok new version uploaded, hopefully sorted the spacing problem on journey planner.

Also added options for text size, and removed all station duplication

 

[Beerkan]

Any chance of adding Translink (N.Ireland)

 

[c58]

some nice updates, would it be possible when using the journey planner to be told which services you will be taking.

for example i type in london to luton, it brings up 3 different train times, however it doesnt say which station i will be travelling from or with which operator.

Very handy program, I like the current output of the route planner and that you can use the same short-codes as the national rail website

Just dled - not bad. Certainly seems faster and smoother than the official app so I'll carry on using it I think.

One question, one request.

Question: Someone noted that...

Thanks Darren, saw your post, downloaded the beast, up she comes running & shows local station departures just-like-that! Neat, nice work, keep it up.

How do I get it to do this? I always get the train company/station popup when I load up the app. I changed the start up screen to Train Times but it does not seem to happen. I'm almost certain I'm missing something blindingly obvious rather than it being a bug.

The request:
One day in the far far future, when you're happy with the app... could you add a widget to it detailing e.g. the next 2 or 3 trains from a particular station to another station (perhaps swapping around at some predetermined time). This would be incredibly handy for at a glance look at when the next trains are for commuters such as myself. I realise that its early days yet so wont be expected anything soon but it would be good in the long run. The official widget is an absolute joke with FCs and entire phone (Hero) hangs, so there is a big gap here.

I'm guessing the person is saving favourite station.. to get it quickly.

Not sure about a widget, will look at that maybe in the future.

[dgoulston]

never knew there was an official one, I guess that's because it is older and does not support the Desire! They have made between

 

[MonkeyHanger]

Was using the National Rail app and have bought yours to see what it was like in comparison.

Yours is very good, but the feature that is missing compared to the National Rail one is the option to have favourite journeys as well as stations, which I use because not all the trains stop in my hometown station.

That is coming over the weekend, the journey planner is a very new feature, and is only in its beginning stages.

 

[dgoulston]

Version 20 live, with more options on Journey Planner & save favorite journeys
Darren

 

[dgoulston]

version 21 live.. some design changes, and changed quite a bit of code, to stop a few problems people have,

Thanks
Darren

 

[brandmarked]

Would love to try it but it doesn't seem to be available on my market. Have you enabled QVGA for us Tattoo users?

Just wanted to say thanks. I don't buy many apps and even though the ad supported one is great and the ads don't bother me I thought I owed it to you to effectively buy you a beer and hence I bought it. Keep up the good work, the amount of time you are putting in to this project and the amount of updates is awesome.

Thanks for your support!
This app is just a hobby for me, so beer money is always a help

Will hopefully be adding a full menu to make the UI better, and some kind of location based stuff soon.

Thanks
Darren

 

[Budius]

hey mate...
ur app disappeared from the market....
I simply can't find it... and this QR code doesn't link to the market, it links to something else.
I installed the backedup apk I had... but then it doesn't show on the Market so I don't get updates... =(

 

[ianramsden87]

Not going completely crazy then, just wiped my phone and can't find the app anymore.

Anyone got an install file I can nick?

Awesome app by the way.

 

[rincewind72]

Hidarren. I had been using your superb app for a while now. My mates, however, thought it would be funny to delete my apps. I'm trying to get all my apps back including yours but cant find it. Any idea what's happened to it on the market?

Thanks, and keep up the good work.

Ps any chance is developing one for buses?
